Movie Review: Takers

October 21st, 2010

A cast full of hip hop artistes, cardboard actors and a big budget makes a surprisingly enjoyable movie. Forget the plot holes or terrible clichés, you’re not in it for the story, you’re in it for the ride. Takers tells the story of a group of bank robbers who pull off extremely well-planned, high-profile heists- [...]

October 18th, 2010

This Friday I’ll be performing at An Honest Mistake’s album launch I’ll be one of the acts on the chill out stage, so come show your love and sing along! I’ve known AHM since they were still doing open mic gigs with Doppelganger, and it’s been an exciting journey to watch them grow into the [...]

Movie Review: Buried

October 16th, 2010

I was supposed to watch this movie with no expectations because I had not watched the trailer and did not know what to expect beyond the premise of Ryan Reynolds buried alive in a coffin. But when I was putting my name on the list, Grace, organizer of the screening told me that the movie [...]

Movie Review: You Again

October 16th, 2010

After watching the trailer for this movie, I kinda expected a decent chick-flick that shouldn’t be too bad. Considering the decent cast of Kristen Bell, Odette Yustman, Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis. If you are a guy and find women attractive, this movie is worth watching for Odette Yustman alone. Oh my god, I [...]

Movie Review: Reign of Assassins

October 16th, 2010

Reign of Assassins tells the story of the Wheel King in search of Bodhi’s, a legendary warrior, remains. With his band of assassins, he attempts to track down Drizzle, an assassin that turned against him and fled with one half of Bodhi’s remains. Drizzle undergoes surgery to change her appearance in order to start a [...]

Movie review: The Switch

October 8th, 2010

First of all, despite what the poster says (The most unexpected comedy ever conceived), this movie is far from a comedy. Sure it has some funny bits, but it’s so much more like a drama with funny parts thrown in. I went in expecting a rip-roaring comedy, and was sorely let down. Especially after watching [...]

Gig #58

October 8th, 2010

I’ll be performing this Sunday for Doppelganger’s World Open Mic event. There’s a massive line up for the event, and I’ll be playing the 5pm slot. I’m sure you guys can wake up on time after a night of partying on Saturday :p Come along, bring your friends, download my EP (yes I know I [...]

Movie Review: The Other Guys

October 8th, 2010

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star in one of this year’s biggest comedies, The Other Guys. If you’re a fan of over-the-top action comedies (i.e. MacGruber), this is a movie you must NOT miss. The official synopsis is so damn good, I’ll just quote it here: NYPD Detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson [...]

Movie review: Sammy’s Adventures: The Secret Passage

October 8th, 2010

I went into the cinema not knowing what to expect. Besides the posters I’ve seen around the cinema, I knew nothing about the movie. But from the cute looking turtle on the posters, I expected it to be a movie for kids. Sammy’s Adventures: The Secret Passage is about a young turtle, Sammy, on a [...]

Movie review: Dinner for Schmucks

October 8th, 2010

When I heard that this movie was based on an older French movie, Le Diner de Cons, I did what anybody else would do- watch the original movie first. So when I was watching the Dinner for Schmucks, I had Le Diner de Cons fresh in my mind and knew what to expect. Firstly, I [...]
